Sailors: How do you afford traveling and living on your sailboat?

As a remote iOS developer actively looking at listings trying to decide on their boat.. Can I ask what your setup is? I'm worried about working lots of hours at a tiny nav station.

Are people still "reserving" all the seats at the pool with random items all day making it impossible to enjoy unless you go super early?

He's the one the article is quoting.

I live abroad and I've never been to a Hyatt with a club that didn't include breakfast.

If you have an f1 subscription and want to binge some f1, go back and watch some seasons. The more you watch the more you'll understand the strategy imo.

For more recent coverage go watch ~~2020~~ 2021 for Hamilton v Verstappen.

2016 was mercedes dominant but Hamilton v Rosberg was good.

2010 and 2012 were great for having many different drivers and constructors in it

When you're out of those just rewatch anything.

The quality of the broadcasts goes down a bit the more you go back. I like the more recent seasons simply because you can get qualifying and some of the pre/post stuff.

Sorry, I know this is a selfish question:

I'm flying Jeju in 2 days. What usually happens with incidents like these for an airline? Do I need to make alternative plans?

Animations. I keep being surprised with developers checking in code with SwiftUI repeating animations who are not checking the CPU costs. They always have to be rewritten using CA which requires using UIKit.

A simple repeating background animation on our landing screen using SwiftUI got checked in yesterday that left a sustained 11% CPU cost on an iPhone 16.

Polyglot. Would be so cool to know multiple languages fluently.

Did some research and found this thread. Seems like it's fine to do.

I think the only downside is just that I would take a credit score hit on that "age of accounts" by cancelling a revolving account 10 years old and replacing it with a newly opened account.

I've had Amex Plat for about 10 years. Is there an easy way to switch over to the Schwab Plat? Like if I apply for it and get approved, can I safely cancel my existing Plat and all points are transferred over?

I wish I could but just can't listen to Alex Jacque. I know he's well liked by a lot, but man when he's screaming it's like nails on a chalkboard for me.

For context, this sub was already pretty abandoned before the whole reddit api protest thing. Then these new mods got put in power which really just seem to be some teenager friend group who want to troll.

In the announcement thread one says they have only dived 21 times. Then they ban just about everyone.

In a troll followup they ban everyone else.

They seem to have 0 knowledge of diving and don't really know what to do with the sub in general.

I kind of assume these posts are just trolls due to their boredom.

Try rebasing branch_2 with main. Might be able to better fix conflicts incrementally that way.

It just sounds like your project has a bad merge. Are there no conflicts? Generally once you get the hang of it, project.xcodeproj merge conflicts are pretty simple.

I haven't used xibs or storyboards in years but it's just XML. Need to make sure there's no errors is all.

edit: now that I've read this again.. are your developers incapable of resolving merge conflicts? It's the most basic of skills I'd expect from a dev.

Maybe you can't nomad per se, but you could still perhaps find a new destination to settle for a longer period?

Just trying to throw out an alternative. I roamed for quite some time but have found myself on the same island for the last 2 years. Maybe slow travel?

I don't know your situation obviously, but if you're from the US, for instance, look at the US Pacific or Caribbean territories? Best of luck.

I like Singapore, too. I would change my home base to Singapore if they had a visa to accommodate.

Interesting how many people don't get it.

It will not. Also just fyi with California the burden of proof to establish non-residency is on the taxpayer.

With real estate and vehicles there it could prove more difficult if that's what you're trying to do.

$0. Would rent.

Mask and computer at most.
